Must be the case. Pulled the sac and it was full of eggs. Thanks for all the info and assurance guys. Good to know nothing is wrong with her.

Thanks for the recommendation. I did notice she did not eat the cricket I gave her. I will remove the sac at the end of the week as there is no possibility of it being viable.

So my caribena versicolor, whom I have raised from a tiny little speck of a blueberry, has molted with me multiple times, and has never been paired, just dropped and is currently protectively grasping onto what I can only guess is a phantom egg sac. My only question is, do they do this when...

Thanks for the info guys. I am going to check out the Invertsonals section pronto.

Hi, I looked at the forum categories and I didn't see a specific "love connection" type category, so I apologize if this info is already readily available somewhere on here. My GBB sling just recently molted and is very obviously a male (leggy, hooks, and boxing gloves). Still somewhat new to...

Thanks, that is nice of you to say. The guy I got her from did not have her properly housed so I had to throw something together ASAP for her. She seems to be back to her old self again, caught her upside down with her legs all about both this morning and when I got off of work. Regardless if...

Thank you for the suggestion! I think I am being trolled by her, I rushed upstairs to make sure she has some water and she is out and about, confident and in hunt mode, completely unfazed by me. Still, I made sure she had some drops to drink from the wall and web. Thanks again guys.

I have had an A. metallica (or whatever they are going by these days) for a little over a year now. Up until recently things have been fine. She built a tube of web that she rests in and I often found her splayed out ready for food all over the enclosure. She had been eating dubia nymphs...

Haha I will. Just gave the LP a superworm, and the Pampho is making full use of the rock hide I just bought her. Dropped a hornworm on her front door and she did her thing. Everyone seems settled. Once I have some down time I will share some pics! This community is awesome and really...

Great, thank you for the advice.

I was reading up on them as supplementary food with crickets when I got my rosea, but she refuses them and hornworms. I don't think these guys will have that problem, but we'll see tomorrow. I always remove my crickets after 24 hours with my rosea and I will be sure to do the same with the...

Thanks. Yeah, she didn't seem bothered after the initial whirlwind. I am going to get them food tomorrow and see if its the same reaction. This is night and day from my rosea. Super interesting creatures.

So I picked them up today. The Pampho's enclosure was super small so I upgraded it today and rehoused it. I was expecting the worst, but it was super cooperative, even when I prodded it with my calipers out of the critter keeper into the bigger Rubbermaid bin. It just kind of climbed out and...

Wow, great pictures. Thanks for the lesson in experience. The seller said the Goliath was defensive as well. I have purchased very long tongs and I already had long forceps for my rosea. I have no intention of putting my hands anywhere near inside the enclosures, and I don't believe in...

All this input is great guys, really helped me make my decision. Thanks for all your experiences and opinions. I will be picking up both NWs on Saturday. I will post a few pics on here after I receive them.

What makes the pamphobeteus desirable? Is it just a relatively rarer find in the hobby, or simply considered prettier? Aside from the humidity requirements, what else should I be considering that makes it less of an ideal fit for me than the Lasiodora? Is it much more aggressive? Is the...

Yeah, I think I will be picking this, and only this one up. I am excited.

Thanks for all the great feedback guys. Sorry about the common names (this is my first post so be gentle with me). To avoid any confusion, here is what was offered: Brazilian Salmon Pink (Lasiodora Parahybana) FEMALE 5.5 inches Santo Domingo Goliath (Pamphobeteus sp. 'Goliath') FEMALE 4.5...

I want to start off and say that I am a newbie to the hobby. I currently only have a g. rosea, and she is the perfect starter. Of all the time I have had her she hasn't even kicked a single hair at me, and has been a complete joy to learn from. Now I am looking to expand my knowledge in the...
